Every year, thousands of patients from Germany, Austria and Switzerland choose to have their dental implants placed in Istanbul. The price difference is significant — but the question that truly matters is: does the quality match?
What does a dental implant in Istanbul cost compared to Germany?
In Germany, a single dental implant including the crown typically costs €2,000–3,500. At an accredited clinic in Istanbul, the comparable price is substantially lower — using the same implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem) and the same zirconia crown restoration.
Where does the price difference come from?
The difference is not caused by inferior materials or less qualified doctors. It comes from structurally lower operational and staffing costs in Turkey. The implant systems and restoration materials used are the same as those used in Germany.
What to look for when choosing a clinic
- Independent international accreditation (e.g. TEMOS, JCI)
- Documented specialist training of the treating dentist in implantology
- Transparent disclosure of the implant system used
- Written cost breakdown — what is included and what is not
- Warranty terms and aftercare protocol
- English-language communication and patient coordination
How many visits to Istanbul are needed?
For a single implant, two visits to Istanbul are typically required: the first for the surgical placement (1–2 days), the second after the osseointegration period of 6–12 weeks for the prosthetic fitting (2–3 days). Alternatively, the final crown can be placed by your dentist in Germany if a collaboration is arranged.
Bergedent and TEMOS accreditation
Bergedent holds TEMOS accreditation — an international certification system specifically for clinics treating international patients. The accreditation covers communication standards, quality assurance and aftercare protocols. All treatments are planned and supervised by MSc Dt. Tunç Berge, a dentist specialised in implantology.
